There is more than one Job Ratliff.The one who married Sarah Marcus is my great grandfather, a pioneer settler of Newton Co MO.He is the son of James Ratliff and Sarah Fisher. James was the oldest son of John Ratliff and his brothers were Job(who is the one who married Agnes), William and Thompson. That's the way we've constructed it from available records but, as usual, there are missing parts and data that eludes documentation.
The Ratliffs migrated from VA and were in early census returns in Randolph (1810), Washington (1818) and Madison (1820) Counties in IL and thence to Washington and Crawford Counties in AR and then James and his son Job went to Newton Co MO and James moved on to Caldwell Co TX whereas
Job, James' brother, followed his sons to Williamson Co TX.
I'd be pleased to share information with you and am anxious to learn more about the Marcus family. If you wish, you may
email me directly.
